Reimbursement for medical products in Germany and internationally is provided according to various frameworks. SKC prepares pharmaceutical companies in a targeted manner so that reimbursement claims can be processed to their fullest potential.

The Challenge

Reimbursement for pharmaceutical innovations
Reimbursement decisions for new innovative active agents are taken as part of a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) in most markets. In Germany, this is realized by an early benefit assessment according to AMNOG. In order to remain competitive, the pharmaceutical industry must be able to detect rapidly changing market conditions early and to adapt to such innovatively.

Companies within the pharmaceutical industry should have answers to the following questions:

  • How can the value of the medical product be best positioned towards authorities, hospitals, or other institutions?
  • Which pricing strategy can be implemented in European markets and remain financially viable?
  • How can products contribute to competitive success after their patent protection expires?
  • Which innovations will still lead to sustainable success in ten years?
  • How might the entire business organization be required to adapt to the new challenges?

The solution

Strategy with long-term effect
A strategic approach at all stages of the HTA process is essential for ensuring a successful market entry and exploiting the full growth potential. An excellent strategic execution, its adaptation to changing conditions and the evaluation of markets are the basis for success.

Search for alternatives
Pharmaceutical companies must consider alternative reimbursement options, such as NUB, OPS, or DRG applications, or special contract models with payers and insurance companies
